Tony Armas rapped a single and homer, driving in four runs, and Rickey Henderson had three hits and two RBIs as the pair paced the A's to a 10-6 victory over the Tigers. The A's built up an early 5-0 lead, only to have the Tigers threaten with four runs in the sixth. The A's came back to put the game away with five runs in the seventh, three scoring on Armas' homer.
